      my dh was in engineering,then he wanted to explore career in banking.He quit his job n went for studies full time.


      despite he has the qualification,he doesn't hv experience,couldn't find any job in banking.So he has no choice but to switch bk to eng.

      what made him choose acct?
      His dear sister whom he adores. He still meets his married sister once a week. Can you believe it?

        Vinegar, how long did your DH take to decide that he can’t find a banking job and he should go back to engineering?

          Sembgal, I spend time with my son daily before I go to work. Try to coach him with his studies and play with him.

            Accounting is stressful and if he can’t take stress, how is he going to cope during month end closing reports etc?

                Hmm…i’ve frds in accounting…work late all the times.Most of them r still single.

                He nid to seriously considers his personality n interests b4 making career decisions.Suggest him to read up on wat he might expect fr. life as accountant,such as working hour,pays,social life(none?),work environment(stressful n fast paced?)

                this morning,i just highlighted to my dh if he wanted to switch job(coz he finds his current job very stressful),make sure if he finds out more abt the job b4 deciding to take it up.

                  I am a full time tutor. The earliest I go to work is 9am and only on Monday, wednesday and Friday I have to leave at 9am. Other lessons are from 3pm onwards.

                      That's why he never use his brain and think. Listens to his sister more than me. I already reason the things out for him. Honestly, he always makes the wrong decisions.

If you were now the one to tell him you want a career switch, how will he feel and how will he react if you say you want to take from the savings for pursuing the course and depend on savings for daily expenses. He needs to empathise with you.
